Journal: Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A / Year: 2024 Title: Disorder-to-order active site capping regulates the rate-limiting step of the inositol pathway. Authors: Toni K Träger / Fotis L Kyrilis / Farzad Hamdi / Christian Tüting / Marie Alfes / Tommy Hofmann / Carla Schmidt / Panagiotis L Kastritis / Abstract: Myo-inositol-1-phosphate synthase (MIPS) catalyzes the NAD-dependent isomerization of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) into inositol-1-phosphate (IMP), controlling the rate-limiting step of the inositol ...Myo-inositol-1-phosphate synthase (MIPS) catalyzes the NAD-dependent isomerization of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) into inositol-1-phosphate (IMP), controlling the rate-limiting step of the inositol pathway. Previous structural studies focused on the detailed molecular mechanism, neglecting large-scale conformational changes that drive the function of this 240 kDa homotetrameric complex. In this study, we identified the active, endogenous MIPS in cell extracts from the thermophilic fungus . By resolving the native structure at 2.48 Å (FSC = 0.143), we revealed a fully populated active site. Utilizing 3D variability analysis, we uncovered conformational states of MIPS, enabling us to directly visualize an order-to-disorder transition at its catalytic center. An acyclic intermediate of G6P occupied the active site in two out of the three conformational states, indicating a catalytic mechanism where electrostatic stabilization of high-energy intermediates plays a crucial role. Examination of all isomerases with known structures revealed similar fluctuations in secondary structure within their active sites. Based on these findings, we established a conformational selection model that governs substrate binding and eventually inositol availability. In particular, the ground state of MIPS demonstrates structural configurations regardless of substrate binding, a pattern observed across various isomerases. These findings contribute to the understanding of MIPS structure-based function, serving as a template for future studies targeting regulation and potential therapeutic applications.

Feb 9, 2022. New format data for meta-information of EMDB entries
New format data for meta-information of EMDB entries
Version 3 of the EMDB header file is now the official format.
The previous official version 1.9 will be removed from the archive.
In the structure databanks used in Yorodumi, some data are registered as the other names, "COVID-19 virus" and "2019-nCoV". Here are the details of the virus and the list of structure data.
Jan 31, 2019. EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)
EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)
The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.

Yorodumi is a browser for structure data from EMDB, PDB, SASBDB, etc.
This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
The word "yorodu" (or yorozu) is an old Japanese word meaning "ten thousand". "mi" (miru) is to see.
